[Avodah] Subjectivity-from the OU - Bal TeShakTzu

[Rabbi Meir G. Rabi]

ShA YD 13:1 Rama - Fish and Chagavim do not require Shechita, they may be
consumed once dead, similarly one may consume pieces cut off whilst it
still lives. It is however prohibited to consume it as a live unit because
that violates Bal TeShaktzu.

This ruling seems to be UNIVERSAL unlike the following ruling which seems
to be SUBJECTIVE -
A Cohen whose constitution is ‘refined’ may consume the contents of the
Olah sacrifice, which seems to suggest that a Cohen who is repulsed by that
may NOT consume it, and we must contemplate if this is due to Bal TeShaktzu
or due to a violation of the sanctity of the Olah [unlikely because it
anyway will be chakked out, so what is the difference?]?

However, the Chachamim who forbid this in the first instance, only say this
for an Olah, NOT for a Neveilah - they agree that those WHO ARE NOT
DISGUSTED may eat it, those who can’t STOMACH it  :) may NOT.

However, when one is VERY hungry, their sensitivities change, no?



Best,

Meir G. Rabi
